Restorations

One of the wonderful things that has been happening here in Oak Cliff in the past few decades is the restoration of many old homes.  I feel like Oak Cliff is one of the few places in Dallas that cherishes its past.  When we are in other parts of Dallas we see so many thing just GONE and something else in its place. My father in law always says, "That wasn't there last week".  In Oak Cliff you see the same places but with a fresh face.  The whole area feels like recently someone took it and gave it a good scrubbing to reveal the new skin underneath.   My husband and I play a game on our walks.  When we pass by a house that is in need of a good scrubbing we say to each other, "What would you do first?"  Amazingly enough it is usually the same thing.  I wanted to thank all the homeowners and flippers out there that have done such a wonderful job restoring these old homes.  I am going to have to put a plug in here for the Oak Cliff Home tour.  Folks really need to see some of the amazing work people in this area are doing.
